The
4th Annual Congress is being held in Frankfurt between 1st and 4th April, 2008
at Steigenberger Airport Hotel, Frankfurt am Main, Germany.The basic challenges for innovative braking systems are to shorten the
braking distance and to improve long-time high durability. Nowadays intelligent
new developments are necessary as the brake is integrated in the chassis control
system. Lots of innovations are on their way due to new material developments
and more complex electronic systems.

Its
enough to makes your eyes roll and give up on the automotive electronics sector!It a research project at the moment but BMW believe this could be the
future of in-vehicle communications?Well
I let you decide.

The
ability of microcontroller- and microprocessor-based systems to satisfy car
customer needs for comfort, safety, infotainment is fuelling an explosion of
applications and of cooperation between automakers and chip companies.
